The mighty Mega will see daylight yet again thanks to Capcom's Mega Man X Collection, a title that combines seven Mega Man X games onto a single disc. The bundle should be comprised of the first three SNES Mega Man X games as well as the PlayStation versions of Mega Man X4 through X6. Additionally, Capcom will include the import Mega Man Battle & Chase. This Japan and Europe only PSOne cart racing game was not approved for North American distribution by Sony, so it should be quite a treat for fans of the series that shy away from imports.

If you kids like old Mega Man games, you'll love this. And according to our database, there have been somewhere around 80 Mega Man SKUs since the dawn of time, so it's obvious you kids do like 'em something fierce.

There are very few franchises that carry as much importance as the Metal Gear Solid series, as evidenced by the incredible amount of email we got over the Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer. But before Snake's mustache turns silver and he begins coughing up his innards, we'll be treated to Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. The game essentially amounts to an entirely new experience, with hours upon hours of bonus features that rival extended DVD sets. A new low-angle viewing perspective brings you closer to the action, and the online multiplayer, well, we shouldn't even have to mention the possibilities that holds. If you're a fan of the MGS series, you're basically required to pick this one up even if you've already played through Snake Eater multiple times.

A matter of sun gods and paintbrushes, Capcom's dreamy Okami takes action platforming to a new level by featuring a traditional Japanese woodblock print style in a videogame that marries creation and modification to conventional combat and puzzles. It also features one of the most distinct and impressive graphics engines around.

The vivid world of Okami runs, blurs, smears and smudges as ink and color melt into backgrounds and characters. Through it all Ama Terasu, a sun god turned wolf, must quest against the powers of darkness that are robbing the world of life. With a magical paintbrush, Ama can manipulate the world itself and restore life to the Earth. Okami is a classic mascot title with 21st century qualities. Must get!

An RPG experience with a healthy 40-hour adventure is nice, but PSU also features unlimited multiplayer potential. The solo game promises a riveting, emotional journey replete with engaging characters, exciting quests and powerful computer animation. Online, gamers can quest in small squads on streets populated with hundreds of other adventurers.

PSU follows its PSO roots in terms of mechanics, but now offers more freedom thanks to different weapon and character classes that all yield different results. The game is also very hard at present, which should give experienced RPG buffs reason to applaud. Best of all, SEGA promises PSU won't be riddled with cheaters. If there is any justice in this world, the game should be punk free when it releases next year.

Our 2004 RPG of the year was in dire need of a sequel, and it got one. XSEED Games' did all RPG fans a service and have opted to port the previously-unclaimed Shadow Hearts: From the New World to the U.S. What has us particularly excited about the translation, however, is that XSEED promises to give it as accurate a conversion as possible -- a rarity in the Japanese RPG domestication.

Also nice is that players can now expect adjustments to the Judgment Ring combat system (like option to execute a combo command with a second character or performing two different actions in one turn), and an all-new cast of supporting NPCs and environments previously unseen in the series before. This series tells great stories folks, and we're looking forward to experiencing another one.
